Hi together,
end of June is coming and that means that the first closed playtest for The First Explorers is just around the corner.

Here are the infos regarding the application process:
- Playtest #1 is running from June 26th until June 30th (incl.)
- Applications are open until June 17th 20:00 CET

- You have to fill out an application form which is hosted by Google Forms
- You won't need a google account
- Selected Playtesters will be contacted via mail
- NDA is mandatory, so you won't be able show anything from the playtest to the public (no screenshots, no videos, no streaming, etc.)
- I won't announce how many playtesters will be allowed in this Playtest #1
- There will be more playtests in the future. This is the first one with the least amount of testers

APPLICATION LINK The Playtest Application window is closed. No more applications get accepted.

I'm looking forward to a successful Playtest #1 and as always make sure to follow the game-progress on discord and the news here on steam :)

Best,
Sebastian
